T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that'l, CHARLES J. com, a citizen of the ing at Salt LakeCity, in the county of Salt Lake and State of Utah, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Composition for WaterproofingLeather, Canvas, and other Cloth, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of my invention is to provide a composition of matter whichmay be used to treat leather upholstering such as the top and seats of,automobiles to render them the tops and seats when made of canvas orother cloth with the same composition of matter to render themwaterproof and leave the'leather and cloth after treatment soft andpliable. Also to treat canvas bags and sacks so that the material heldin such bags and sacks will not become useless on account of waterentering the sacks, and at the same time to retain all of the materialcarried in said sacks or bags, such as Portland cement, plaster of Parisand many other dust like reparations, and these objects I accomplish byfilling the pores and interstices with a pliable waterproof matter whichadheres to the fabrics and which will not be sticky nor yet brittleenough to crack when the treated material is bent or crease Mycomposition consists of the following ingredients, combined in theproportions stated, viz: I

Five quarts of good quality varnish for outside use.

Three quarts of japan sizing, composition of 1 part coach japan with onepart japan gold sizing. The coach japan is made of manganese oxid,linseed oil and naphtha. The japan gold sizing is made of fossil gums,rosin, linseed oil, naphtha and manganese oxid.

Eight quarts of paint.

25 ounces of bees wax.-

25 ounces of glycerin.

10 ounces of eucalyptus oil.

6 teaspoonfuls of sweet oil.

Two gallons of a thinner such as turpentine or gasolene.

These ingredients are to be thoroughly mingled by heat and agitation.

To properly prepare and mix the ingredi ents, I take two quarts of thelightest colored durable varnish. Three quarts of NETHER- Specificationof Letters Eatent.

spar varnish, 1-3 quarts pale coach japan, which is a composition ofmanganese oxid, linseed oil and .naphtha, 1%,,- quarts ofjapan gold.sizing, which is a combination of fossil gums, rosin, linseed oil,naphtha and manganese .oxid, 25 ounces of glycerin, 10 ounces ofeucalyptus oil, six teaspoonfuls of sweet oil, and shave into thinstrips or small particles 25 ounces of bees wax which is added totheabove liquids, then heat the wax and all of the other ingredients byplacing the vessel in which they are mixed in hot or boiling water, butnot over a direct fire, until the wax is melted. When this mixture iscooled add the thinner, of two gallons of turpentine or gasolene, andthoroughly mix. If the compound is for use on leather or other fabricwhere a black or dark color is desired 1 add to the first mixture beforeheating it 1-;- quarts of black enamel paint, six quarts of blackasphalt and 5 pounds of jet black coach paint.

the compound is for use on canvas or other or where light colors such aswhite, aluminum, blue or yellow are desired, I do not use the blackenamel, as' phalt or black coach paint but use instead, white enamel 1%quarts, and five pounds of painters, flake white paint which iscarbonate of lead ground in oil, with 1% quarts of any desired colorpaint or pigment.

By using my composition I 'am able to treat leather upholstering such astops on automobiles to restore the finish and make the leather waterproof and pliable by applying the compound'to the leather upholsteringand allowing it to-dry. I am also able to treat the "canvas or othercloth upholstering by covering and saturating the cloth, whether old :ornew, with a waterproofing compound which cloth pliable and moistureresistant, and give it any desired color bymixing the 1ngredients asabove set out.

In treating canvas or other cloth I apply the mingled ingredinets with apaintbrush, giving it one coat, then after said coat has 7 dried, whichwill take about six hours,"I

apply another coat and allow it to dry, with I advise thethoroughagitaavoid any tendency of the solids to settle in the bottom ofthe container; however the glycerin content will preserve" the solids ina fluid and plastic condition.

A waterproofing composition consisting offive quarts of good quality varnish; three quarts of japan sizing; eightquarts of black paint; twenty-five ounces of bees wax; twenty-fiveounces of glycerin; ten

' ounces of eucalyptus oil; six teaspoonfuls of sweet oil; and twogallons of turpentine, substantially as described.
